Sounds like something Trooper(Delta) or Taxman would have said. When Delta recruited me for 421st/BlackWidows, he sent me that D3a video to explain what he meant by "Just get silly and kill every thing". There was another about Jeeps? think he referred to it as The Deer Drive? Bunch of you guys in vehicles running at a spawn flushing out tanks. It worked!  :cheers:

Not Jeeps But you're close.  We didn't have a name for it but it was sort of like a clown car base capture.  I remember telling the boys "of course it will work, there's no way they'll expect us to be stupid enough to even try this tactic"  and we dont neeed no stinking spawns, we've got 2 guys on deack the town duty and a 3rd pilot waiting 1 sector over in case they don't.

My all time favorite I forgot to film but me and the guys had posted a big cv mission and got an exceptionally large number of joiners.  I used a loophole in the mission planner so that no matter what plane was chosen, everybody got a C-Hog and we kicked bellybutton but there was also a ton of whining from the within ranks about what I'd done to them (like it was a bad thing or something).  In any case, it went over about as well as when we changed the squad name to Sexual Chocolate.

Reminds me of the time we did a mission with a pretty good turnout. We were going to "get a town" on the coast. It was a pretty good ways out. About a third of the way there we started filling people in on what to do. It was about that time someone noticed that they had a torpedo. Then others quickly chimed in that their loadout was a torpedo.

We just kept talking normally and started giving folks approach directions to town to drop their torpedo.... they caught on quickly after a couple of newer folks tried to explain that you can't torpedo a town. Every stayed on and not 1 person based. We torpedoed a town.

Until then most of them had never tried it.

hi you knuckleheads.....9 kills in one pass was something i can remember.   i seen a giant 2 sector dar moving our way. it had to be a strat run. so i loaded up a 110 with rockets, found a field way back by the strats and started climbing towards the dar.  i reach about 28k and the dar is 1 sector away now.  soon , i see the cloud of B17s and they are at about 25 k and i am coming in at them from their high 11 . i pickle my rockets at the lead and open up the 30 and 20 mms. the rockets killed 4 bombers outright and i got some major hits with the guns as i blew through. one of their escorts had a bad angle on me and i evaded his guns. but he lost it bc we were so high, he just blew it and i was free to continue. but he had done just enough that i couldnt re-catch the bombers. i can see them and am gaining , but i know that i am dead 6 and im not goin to get there before they get to the strats. soon i see kill #5, then another and another and so on till i am at 9 kills and 4 assists. i'm all happy and rtb but the base is a sector and a half away and i am at 1 min fuel. i try to glide it, but its no lancaster. i land about 2k away from the stupid base. i curled up in the corner and had a good long sports /competition cry. :bhead

53 base takes in 48 hours....

Back when I was running 3 sets of buffs I used to team up with guys and move lots O mud in a short amount of time.  A lot of these bases were defended,  some were not.  Essentialy you use 1 set for WF deack and 2 sets to shut down logistics for defenders either porking ords,  hanger shutdown,  vh resup shutdown, ect.  When you invest the right amount of time using multi-sets your basically unstoppable. Overwhelming the enemy with blitzkrieg style attacks at multiple locations opens a lot of doors when defenders are scrambling with little coordination.  You just start a big fight at critical bases and work surrounding bases under the cover of darkness while most players are diatracted with full dar bars. Each situation required a different approach based on how much defense there was,  how easy it was to resup,  ect.  In over half the cases a simple wf/deack sneak the troops worked even with defenders.  Using mutliple sets also opened the door for attacking 2-3 bases at once spreading oit defenders. Sometimes all this worked, most of the time you get bogged down or something went wrong.  On this 2 day run it was the epitome of all my years playing with excellent teamwork that lead to 2 map resets and a few angry pms  :salute

Reckon had I been more disciplined with my mouth and not a raging alcoholic at times could have pulled more assistance then what I would get over the years.  You live and learn i guess...

Having read this I must give credit where credit is due.  Squads such as P. O. T. W. & the 49th, sfox's shade hunters, HGAnchor's squad, and a few other players all contribited to this incredible run.  All I did was handle logistics. Buff pilots have the easy job in this game. Something I failed to recognize in my years playing. Just because you can wf deack and shoot anyone down 50% doesnt mean squat on a take until all 10 troops walk into that glorious white flagged map room
